美国《华盛顿邮报》近日刊登了这样一篇文章:《印度铁路招聘6.3万个岗位,有1900万人申请》。
光标题里这些数字,就让人感受到“人艰不拆”。
这篇文章以一位印度 “农村青年”到首都找工作 为开场。
Anil Gujjar arrived in India’s capital from a small village in the northwestern state of Rajasthancarrying nothing except a backpack and hopes of finding a good job.
来自印度西北地区拉贾斯坦邦的农村青年Anil Gujjar,只背着一个包,怀揣着找到一份理想工作的希望,千里迢迢来到印度首都。

来到首都的第一晚,这位小伙子在火车站打个地铺 就过了一夜。
Gujjar arrived in Delhi for the first time in his life the evening before his 9 a.m. exam. He spent the night sleeping on a sheet that he spread on the floor of the railway station.
在他第二天上午9点考试的前一晚,Gujjar抵达新德里。他这是他第一次来到印度首都。他在火车站的地上铺了张毯子,就这么睡了一夜。
Early the next morning, he took a bus to the exam center, where he stood, waiting, in a thin striped sweater. At 7:35 a.m., a guard carryinga portable loudspeakerbegan barking instructions to the assembledtest-takers.
第二天一早,Gujjar乘公交车到考试中心。 他穿着一件细条纹运动衫,等待着。7:35分的时候,一位门卫举着便携式扩音喇叭,对着聚在一起的考生们喊着考试指示。
他到首都是为了找一份大公司的白领工作?还是打算成为新德里闪闪发光的技术新星?
都不是...他只是与几千万人, 同时竞争 铁路系统 的一些“低端”岗位。

In February, India’s railways system announceda national recruitmentdrive for the mostmenialpositions in its hierarchy — helper, porter, cleaner, gateman, track maintainer, assistant switchman.
2018年2月,印度铁路系统面向全国招聘一些较为低端的岗位——帮手,搬运工,清洁工,看门员,铁轨维护人员,助理级的扳道工。
It attracted 19 millionapplicantsfor 63,000vacancies.
这6.3万个左右的“低端”岗位吸引了全国1900万左右的应聘者。
Gujjar, the son of a farmer and the first person in his family to attend college, was one of them. At the test center in Delhi where hetook a mandatory examin November, he looked aroundwarilyat hundreds of young men like him. Nearly all were college students or graduates. Some even hadmaster’s degrees.
出生在一个农民家庭,Gujjar是他家中第一位上大学的家族成员。为了谋一份铁路系统的工作,Gujjar于11月份在新德里参加了一次强制性的考试。在考场上,他谨慎地环顾四周,发现考场里有几百位跟他差不多的年轻人。几乎所有考生都是大学生和大学毕业生。有的还是硕士学位。
上面几段的核心词汇和表达,我们来归纳一下~
什么?做铁路系统的“苦力工人”,还需要上千万的本科生甚至研究生层层竞争?
这现实,也太扎心了...

At the test center in Delhi, waves of applicantsfor the railway positions arrived three times a day, each weekday, from September through mid-December — a scene replicated at hundreds of exam centers across the country.
在新德里的考试中心,从2018年9月分到12月中旬,每个工作日会迎来一波又一波的铁路岗位求职者,一天三次。在全国几百个考点,这样的情景重复上演。
The applicants are mostlycollege students and college graduatesfrom the northern Indian states of Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthanwho are seeking a way out of the villages where they grew up. There are no jobs there, they said.
这些求职者多是来自印度北方邦和拉贾斯坦邦的大学生和大学毕业生。他们希望走出从小长大的农村,因为老家没有工作机会。
据报道,这些基础岗位的起薪每月在1.8万卢比左右(约1800元人民币)。

印度铁路这次竞争惨烈的招聘现状,让《华盛顿邮报》 得出这样一个结论 :
印度就业形势太严峻!受过良好教育的年轻人没有得到应有的职业机会。

The railways recruitment effort isa potent symbolof India’semployment conundrum.The country is one of the fastest-growing major economies in the world, but it is not generating enough jobs — let alone good jobs — for theincreasingly educated young peopleentering the labor force.
这次印度铁路系统的招聘现状是印度的就业难题的一个有力象征。尽管印度是全球经济发展最快的国家之一,它并没有为不断涌入就业市场,受过良好教育的年轻人提供与经济增长速度相匹配的工作机会,更别说好的工作机会了。
By 2021, the number of people in India between the ages of 15 and 34 is expected to reach 480 million. They havehigher levels of literacyand are staying in school longer than any previous generation of Indians. The youth surge represents an opportunity for this country of 1.3 billion, economists say, but only if such young people can find productive work.
到2021年,印度15岁至34岁的人口预计将达到4.8亿人。比起前几代的印度劳动人口,这些年轻应聘者的文化程度更高,在学校受教育时间更长。经济学家认为这批素质较高的年轻人对于有13亿人口印度来说是一个机会;但前提是,这些年轻人能找到合适的工作。

在严峻的就业形势之下,印度还兴起了 "求职培训" 产业 !
For many young Indian people, finding a job is anall-consumingtask.An entire industry has sprung up offering “personality development” classes — a combination of basic English, social skills and interview preparationadvertised as improving employability.Job scams are common, with fraudsters preying onthe aspirations of those seeking work.
对于很多印度年轻人来说,找工作需要全身心投入!完整的求职产业链在印度如雨后春笋般出现,为求职者提供 "人格发展”课程。课程内容涵盖基础英语培训,社交技能培训,面试准备,声称能提高求职者的应聘率。工作诈骗在印度也屡见不鲜;诈骗者们以那些渴望找到工作的人为目标。
